So, last ride for Melandri at Laguna & then onto Kawasaki - & Goobernow the new Ducati team mate for Stoner ?

Well everyone is very tight lipped, melandri's manager has said they have agreed to cancel the 2009 contract but he still reckons he will see out the year. Hard to know what is going to happen, it probably won't be announced till next week.

You guys are forgetting that out of the 3 races at leguna, rossi was second first year, had his bike crap out on him second time when he was near the front and last year he was 4th. Certainly if he can get the yamaha dialled in he will have a chance of victory. Write him off at your perril!

I like living on the edge, or just back a bit..............

Good god, now Marco HAS got a problem??

Meanwhile:
The Barcelona-based magazine Solo Moto has announced on the online version of the publication that American Colin Edwards has signed a renewal of his contract with the Yamaha Tech3 team for the 2009 MotoGP season.

Although widely rumored in the Sachsenring Paddock, Edwards and Yamaha officials said that no deal had been done. Attempts to reach Yamaha Tech3 and Colin Edwards have been unsuccessful.

According to the unsigned Solo Moto article, Edwards will work closely with Valentino Rossi in spite of being on the Tech3 team instead of the Fiat Yamaha team. At present the Tech3 team of Edwards and Britain's James Toseland use Michelin tires, as does Rossi´s teammate Jorge Lorenzo, while Rossi is the only Yamaha rider on Bridgestone tires.

Yeah you got to feel for the guy, he's got it tough. He'd of won every race if...um.... stoner was on a kwaka and the midget was still in 250's???

Actually, still my house and you can't miss it. It's the only Ducati Red house in the street.

BTW Gaz, if you're goin to take up my wager, you'd best buy a tent before the weekend - as I would feel bad to see the Gaz family with no fixed abode next week.

I have read that Edwards is a good development rider but whether he's solely responsible for the yam is probably an american idea or rather cycleworld.

Bill, as for betting my house , I'm far too old and wise ! ( and its bloody cold enough here in Wgton thanks, where ever you are ? ) I got out for a fang yesterday but its only a window of about 4 hours for this chicken in winter. Gaz.

But he loves to fight Pete, and now has Bridgestones that work there.

ps just read, the little Mexican is in doubt. He must have damaged more bits than first thought . Gaz.

How do you think Stoner would go on a Yamaha or for that matter Rossi on the Ducati?
